What Sandy Creek Stirrings Is
Sandy Creek Stirrings exists to stir up Christians to do something great for the cause of Christ. The goal is not merely to fill another podcast feed, but to give believers practical truth they can actually use.
Each episode is built around a desire for biblical, factual, and logical truth — the kind of truth that reaches beyond theory and presses into daily living. Some episodes teach. Some challenge. Some encourage. Some feel like friends sitting down for a good conversation with a cup of coffee.
However the format changes, the burden remains the same: to help Christians walk away with something they can put into practice.
The Name
The name Sandy Creek Stirrings reaches back into Baptist history and the story of Shubal Stearns. Born in 1706, Stearns was saved during the Great Awakening and became a preacher marked by fervor, fire, and a holy burden that God would be magnified.
In 1755, he founded Sandy Creek Baptist Church in North Carolina. The people around him were religious but lost, and like Paul in Acts 17, his spirit was stirred within him. Souls were saved. Lives were changed. Churches began springing up. In only two years, Sandy Creek grew from one congregation to nine. Within 17 years, 42 churches had been planted.
That kind of history reminds us what God can do with ordinary men who are stirred to obey Him. Sandy Creek Stirrings was named with that burden in mind: to stir hearts, kindle zeal, and push Christians toward something greater for the cause of Christ.
About the Host
Sandy Creek Stirrings is hosted by Dr. Joshua P. Gimenez. He was born on Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi, while his father was serving in the United States Air Force. Raised around the truths of Scripture from an early age, he trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour when he was three years old.
At ten years old, God called him to preach. From that point forward, ministry became the direction of his life. The Lord allowed his family to serve on the mission field and later to help plant Victory Springs Independent Baptist Church in High Springs, Florida.
Since 2015, Dr. Gimenez has served at Victory Springs Independent Baptist Church, first bi-vocationally and then, beginning in December 2019, full-time as Assistant to the Pastor. He earned his doctorate from Lone Star Baptist College in 2026.
He and his wife, Tabitha, were married in 2017 and are raising four children: Liberty, Freedom, Victory, and Patriot.
